Volume 1, Chapter 27: Come With Me

I want to go home—the implication was clear: Lin Yuxia did not consider Mount View Villa her home.
Shen Yan understood this, and though a sharp, stabbing pain pierced his heart, he stubbornly forced the corners of his mouth upward.
"Are you serious?"
The young girl nodded.
The Angel of the Demon Realm appeared, surrounded by subordinates like stars circling the moon. From the very start, the conversation was confrontational, with neither side willing to compromise... How would the God of Artillery respond?
Despite the volley of arrows, the enemy did not cease their assault; instead, they continued to press against the fortifications. Numerous Boom-Tigers slammed into the wooden barricades, their bodies crashing violently against the fence. The true fire burning on their tails ignited the wood instantly upon contact.
"It seems you have put real thought into this!" Liu Peng smiled, clearly satisfied with Accountant Zhu's answer. A leader who possessed a deep understanding of the village's developmental goals would surely make future progress much smoother.
Yu Siyi seemed to spot Bedi Ran as well; she spread her arms wide and gave a sharp tug, pulling the curtains shut.
Wanwan covered her mouth and giggled, her enchanting eyes darting between Lu Wuchen and Shang Xiuxun, filled with an inexplicable meaning.
Since he could not live a quiet, stable life like others, he decided he might as well live boldly and without restraint.
However, after sweeping his divine sense across the Qi family compound, he found no trace of the blind monk; it was as if he were not in the manor at all.
Could it be that in the eyes of the Nangong family, the lives of others were so insignificant, so unworthy of mention?
"What do you want to eat?" Yu Siyi asked, indifferent to the world around her. She didn't care what happened to others; as long as she and the person she loved were happy, nothing else mattered.
Just then, a creature resembling an oversized ferret launched a sneak attack, infuriating Huihui the Black Crow, who usually held the highest status among Qiu'er's spirit beasts. With a sudden mid-air twist, the crow turned belly-up, its iron-hook-like black talons swiping toward the throat of the sleepy-looking ferret.
He had heard from Han Ruobing that Han Yuxuan used to return home late in the evenings, but ever since she started driving the BMW i8, she had hardly ever been late, terrified that her sister might discover she had taken the car.
Almost every large shopping mall had escalators designed to save people the effort of climbing stairs. Yun Xuan, Tan Xiang, and Dala had been there a few times, so they naturally stepped onto the escalator and slowly ascended.
Mu Fangchun looked at Fang Xiaoming with a face full of confusion but remained silent. Fang Xiaoming, his face ashen, dared not speak a word.
Meanwhile, the swarm of venomous creatures on the Bear Cave side seemed to have devoured the scattered chicken meat in an instant. They now caught the scent of blood wafting from Ma Kai, who had been cut down by a blade, and from Mu Long, whose arm had been pierced by Murong Lian.
The group chatted briefly, starting with the usual formalities at the dinner table, such as exchanging toasts. Once they had drunk three rounds, it was time to bring up the real business.
Zhuang Buping said nothing. He took a step forward and thrust his sword toward Tao Tianche. The strike was neither slow nor fast, yet its power was astonishing. Even Nangong Po, a martial artist with few rivals in the world, could not help but marvel at the brilliance of Zhuang Buping's swordsmanship.
At this moment, Shangguan Yun’s entire focus was on Ke Qingqing. He took a medicinal pill from his pocket and fed it to her.
Tang Luo grabbed his car keys, said a few words to Monkey and the others, left Midnight Dynasty, and drove toward the police station.
Yun Xuan naturally noticed the commotion around him. He realized that everyone was staring at Tantai Wan'er, shouting inexplicable things.
